Buying · 02

After they handed it over, you found the crash, the flood, the rolled-back odometer.

The seller's warranty is about what the car was worth, and whether you could use it as agreed, the day they gave it to you. Something you already knew is not the same as something you found later.

The statute. The link goes to the national law database.

01

What this is

Name it first

This is the car being wrong, not the tone of the fight. At handover the seller is supposed to stand behind it: nothing that wrecks it, cuts what it's worth, or stops you using it the way you agreed. If you knew when you signed, that promise gets thinner. You looked at it in the shop and shook on it. That is not the seven-day cooling-off people get with mail order.

Who you might call

Only if it fits

Also worth saying

  • You have a window to tell them about the defect. Wait too long and the right can change. The article has the period. I'm not counting down your last day.
  • The lines a car contract is supposed to include, and the lines it isn't allowed to include, are for checking the small print. They are not the answer.
  • Flood, an old crash, a rolled odometer: you need something to put next to the claim. 'I feel cheated' isn't there yet.
← Back to this groupNext → Long lease, finance, loan. The monthly payment looks the same. Who owns the car doesn't.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
